Volume 36. The standard visibility and atmospheric-extinction model for heliacal phenomena; a geometric altitude test alone will not predict first or last visibility of a star.

What it is cited for
Where an entry recorded why it leaned on this work, the reason is repeated here. A source cited well outside its own scope is visible in this list before it is visible anywhere else.
- Heliacal Risings
- The standard visibility and extinction model, without which a computed heliacal date is a geometric approximation rather than a prediction.
- Mercury
- For why the low elongation makes Mercury difficult to observe with the naked eye.
- Venus
- For the heliacal visibility windows behind the morning- and evening-star appearances.
